Does the “Pledge” offend you? Tough.

Above, we have 14-year old Fatima Smart, who WBZ reports was involved in an incident at school in mid-March after refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance at Monadnock Regional Middle School. Because barely-pubescent 14 year old kids are experts in government policy and global politics, after all.

Yes, we’re well-aware that some idiots on the Supreme Court decided you didn’t have to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

But if that’s your choice, sit down, shut up, and let those who respect this great nation at least participate in peace- without you whining about it, storming out of school, and writing nasty emails to the teacher demanding she apologize for being a real American.
